Jon Jones scored the first defense of his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight title at UFC 309 last night (Sat., Nov. 16, 2024) when he stopped Stipe Miocic with a brutal spinning back kick from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City (watch highlights).

A mere 24 hours before on Netflix, Mike Tyson lost a disappointing eight-round unanimous decision to Jake Paul from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas ... and while the fight sucked, Tyson went viral before the historic boxing match for showing his butt while he was backstage.

Jones reacted to Tyson’s butt cheeks as well as the underwhelming fight.

“It was hard to see him so old,” Jones told media during the UFC 309 post-fight press conference (watch here). “Roy Jones kept saying it: those legs aren’t working. It was really hard to see. He really sold it with the highlight videos of him training and his physique. I wish he wouldn’t have shown us his ass - that was a little wild. I’m like, Mike, you didn’t have to do that. Mike is a freak, I bet. Mike, you old nasty old man - you old dirty bastard. It was hard to watch.”

It’s good to know Jones’ reaction was similar to that of the entire world.
